Abstract

This work presents the TraxBot mobile robot design, a ground platform recently developed for applications in the mobile robotics field. The assembling of the robotic system, with description of its components as well as information about the microcontroller programming, development and testing are presented. The TraxBot is a multidisciplinary platform and is ideal for education, since it is easily programmed with open-source tools requiring basic knowledge of other areas beyond robotics, like mechanics, control or energy management. Although being released in a stable version, the robot is continually in development, with the ability to incorporate extensions to its design and new features.
